On July 22, 1996, a 2-2 pitch to Jim Thome missed the zone—but umpire Mike Everitt thought it was ball four. Thome — who knew it was only ball three — trotted to first without protest, loading the bases instead of facing another pitch. The Blue Jays never caught the mistake, and Cleveland's Albert Belle immediately followed with a crushing 3-run double. That phantom walk opened the door, and the Indians never looked back in what became a 4-2 win.
